We also touch upon the multiplayer and share a glut of fantastic community posts reflecting some extreme opinions on the game, both positive and negative. *In addition to the original podcast on Naughty Dog‘s critically acclaimed The Last of Us recorded back in 2014, Leon and Jay sat down and recorded an additional section that focuses on the recent remake, The Last of Us Part I, released in 2022.
